Two people wanted for questioning in Pulaski County after police found a body in the northern part of the county were arrested by Pope County and Atkins law enforcement officials early Friday afternoon.

Pope County Sheriff Aaron DuVall said a PCSO deputy noticed the suspected vehicle the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office was searching for after an all-points bulletin (BOLO) describing the vehicle was released. DuVall said the deputy recognized the vehicle traveling at approximately 12:45 p.m. near Highways 64 and 105 in Atkins, where the deputy attempted to initiate a stop.

The deputy, assisted by Atkins Police Chief Tim Whittenburg, stopped the vehicle on North Church Street, near Liberty Bank, DuVall said.

Arrested were a white man, approximately 25 years old, and a white woman, approximately 40 years old. Pulaski Sheriff officials were expected to pick up the two and transport them back to Little Rock Friday afternoon.

DuVall said police were contacted by a civilian who noticed the 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier after hearing news reports that police were searching for it.

“We had a tip from a citizen in Pope County, so we would like to thank that person for contacting 911 and letting us know,” DuVall said.

Pulaski County Sheriff spokesman Lt. Carl Minden said Friday that the victim is believed to be 46-year-old James Heath, but Minden said investigators are still waiting on positive identification from the State Crime Lab.

Authorities arrested Taylor Arnold on a murder charge after he allegedly told an investigator he helped put the body behind a home.

Authorities say investigators learned of the body’s location Thursday and found the corpse off Centennial Road west of Cabot.
